course. We must lay aside every weight, re-
press every excess, practice every virtue, and
keep vigilant eye on the goal.
Few there be that find it." (V. 14)
Many go to destruction. (V. 1877 Shall many
be saved? Shall any be lost2 The Jewish
schools were divided on these questions. Some
favored universal salvation. The prevalent
opinion limited the saved to few, and references
were at times made to the eight saved in the
Ark and to the two who reached Canaan. The
question as TO the few or many is answered in
V. l3, to wit, many shall 90 to ruin. Few fol-
lowed Christ, and the majority seemed inclined
to evil. Even the good may yet be styled a
peculiar people. One thing is certain the
question of fewness or many is not one settled
by Christ, but by mankind; for salvation Is a
matter left to human choice. Acceptance with
Christ, which is salvation, is the secret of life
in the sense of happiness, and his rejection is
explanation of destruction, which means re-
morse, dissatisfaction, misery, and, in some
sense, death.
We have given special attention to an exc

the principle Of the entire lesson. We must
STRIFE because beset by false prophets, who would
lead US astray. We must constantly apply the
criterion furnished by Christ, to wit, fruitful

lyze our own hearts and minds, lest we depend
on a merely external show of the forms OF
piety. VERSES 2l-23.) We must exercise great
care as to our foundation. VERSES 24-29.) All
this requires striving but the alternative, life
or destruction, is sufficient stimulant for ac-

On numbers they depend;
They say. $50 many can't be wrong"
And miss happy end.
One way leads 20 "life" and the other to
destruction" Life" means happiness-sal-
walton. The thought is given in st. Luke's Cos
pei, (l3: 23) in which one said unto Christ
lord, are there few that be saved2" And he
said unto them, "StTiye to enter in at the
strait gate" Life may be considered a mansion
reached by entering strait gate and going
along down a narrow way. The verse reads
as though our present existence is not life, but
simply the avenue leading 10 life. The wide
way leads to destruction. The definition of
destruction would seem TO be the antithesis of
liie and hence death.
Erasmus "a. ID. 1901 has some good thoughts
on the lesson, saying. "As for the gate, it re-
ceives none that are swollen with the glory Of
this life; none that are elated aud heightened
out with pride; none that are distended with
luxury IL does not admit those that are
laden with the fardels Of riches, nor those
that drag along with them the other impe-
ments Of the world. None can pass through il
| but naked men. using the word naked ia a
moral sense who are stripped Of all worldly
lusts, aud who have. as il were, put Off their
bodies, are emaciated into spirits, which is the
reason il is sought after by 30 few" Further
he says. I" In the way nothing is to be found
that ilattered the flesh, but many things oppo-
site TO it-poverty, fasting, watching. injuries,
| chastity, sobriety." We see the views of Eras-
mus partake of tho ascetic-have the odOr OF
1 the recuse But with all our modern opinions,
which have SO materially modified the Chris
tian life, we yet are unable TO relieve il OF
struggle. man cannot become a Christian'as

amusement With all our improvements We
yet are forced TO strive if we would win in the
moral ard religions. Is il rot better to agonize
for salvation than to settle down TO destruc-
tion1 great responsibility is thrown on us
There are two gates and two ways We must
make our choice. If we select the wide gate
we reject the strait one. And all the attendant
consequences reach or, in some way and sense
into tho existence after death. Some under

Not only is the gate to life strait, bat the way
Is marrow" So, too, the way TO death is wide,
having an easy entrance. It is not difficult to
sin before one becomes Christian. Read Ps.,
IA; 8; Eph., 2:2, 81 We need not strive to
enter into the gate leading to destruction-we
have but merely to yield to the evil impulses of
the unregenerate heart. Then, it is more agree
able to have a large company. Many travel
the wide way. One must deny self in thou
sand ways 10 enter and afterward keep up an
uneeasing watchfulness and contest. Entrance
TO this way demands self-renunciation and con-
slant dependence on Christ. The way" is
the practice Of the Beatitudes-holy living.
The narrow gate, though for all persons, il
they will, is yet an exclusive gate. Says Thorn
son, who was thoroughly acquainted with
Palestine:

y Kaucher secures a Contract for y
$4,000 Mill In Minnesota.
Sam Kaucher, the well known mill
furnisher of Yankton, has recently made
q reach into fresh territory with his con-
struction business and achieved q SUI
cess which is worthy of comment. AT
Heron Lake, Minnesota, a company Of
capitalists have arranged to put in a
complete 100 barrel roller Touring mill
to cost $4,000 when finished and to be
completed in ninety days. MIR. Kauoher
visited Heron Lake last week and enter
ed the field for the contract against five
other mill furnishing firms, among whom
were @. P. Allis s. Go, Of Milwaukee, the
firm which built the Yankton roller
mill. The other bidders arrayed them
selves against the Yankton man, but he
came out on top, as usual, and was
awarded the contract. Mr.. Kaucher re-
CARDS this result as a mark o foonadenee
in his system OF roller milling and will
work to make the Heron Lake mill one
OF the best in Minnesota. He will begin
operations at .onee.
